MODERATORS
Does it fight algorithm addiction or does it just utilise existing algorithm addiction to give you something slightly more informative?
I would disagree on the "slightly more informative" part. I have used it and in my opinion, it's "highly informative and educational".
It's like what vaping is to nicotine addiction.
Better than the alternative, buttt
Butt nicotine? What kind of weird stuff you into?
I think it's more "Butt as an alternative to algorithms" which I fully agree with. Butts are better than algorithms
Depends on the butt, I've seen some nice algorithms.
Blowimg smoke up people's asses, duh! /s
Apparently it doesn't use a personalised algorithm. So I'd say the first one.
